WSOP Day 3: \"Official\" News, Results, and Discussion
Card Player says 569 players will begin play at noon tomorrow (though their chip count only lists 566 players).
They'll be playing hand-for-hand until they reach the money when the field is reduced to 560 players. Blinds will be 1,000-2,000 with a 300 ante. Here are the top ten chip leaders: 1 Rod Pardey Jr. 464,000 Chips 2 James Pollack 447,500 Chips 3 Tim Phan 445,500 Chips 4 Bryan Stellwagen 377,200 Chips 5 Bob Hotchandani 372,700 Chips 6 Lee Watkinson 336,800 Chips 7 Jon Lane 331,800 Chips 8 Russ Salzer 326,000 Chips 9 Greg Raymer 318,700 Chips 10 Yakov Hirsch 318,100 Chips For Raymer to be doing so well is going to be a big part of the story tomorrow and when the ESPN show airs. This is the first time a defending champion has made a serious run in quite a few years. These are the lowest ranked players on the chip counts. Six (or nine?) will barely miss out on $12,500. 547 James Courtney 16,800 Chips 548 Bruce Atkinson 16,800 Chips 549 Steven Brown 16,100 Chips 550 George Alex 16,000 Chips 551 Paul Zimbler 15,800 Chips 552 Patrick McCann 15,400 Chips 553 Dan Burns 15,300 Chips 554 Gang Huang 15,200 Chips 555 John Bae 14,900 Chips 556 Martin Laliberte 14,000 Chips 557 Eamon Grimes 13,500 Chips 558 Marty Foth 13,100 Chips 559 Freddie Jones 12,700 Chips 560 Angeloudis Kostas 11,800 Chips 561 Jason Seitz 11,300 Chips 562 Sarne Lightman 11,200 Chips 563 Bill Bostley 9,500 Chips 564 Larry Collins 7,600 Chips 565 Vadim Shlez 5,800 Chips 566 Michael Santoro 3,200 Chips It'll cost $5,700 to play one orbit at a nine-handed table. Some of these folks are going to have a hard time folding their way into the money. Here are the chip amounts for all players. |
Re: WSOP Day 3: \"Official\" News, Results, and Discussion
I thought it was ninehanded?
And I also thought it was 1k/2k with 200 ante, but maybe that was the final level of day two? |
Re: WSOP Day 3: \"Official\" News, Results, and Discussion
It is 9-handed and was all of Day 2. Blinds/antes start Day 3 at $1K/2K with $300 ante.
I am still hanging around with $61K. Wish me luck. |
Re: WSOP Day 3: \"Official\" News, Results, and Discussion
Good luck man.
I hope you show up on the final table! |

Re: WSOP Day 3: \"Official\" News, Results, and Discussion
Is the payout for Bubble Boy #561 (tourney directors are calling it "last place") $12,500, and the first person in the money (#560) is in the neighborhood of $20K? I thought I saw that info somewhere.

Re: WSOP Day 3: \"Official\" News, Results, and Discussion
Is Olga Varkonyi the wife of the ex-champ? She's behind a nice stack of chips going into Day #3?
|
Re: WSOP Day 3: \"Official\" News, Results, and Discussion
One interesting name on the list in 43rd place, is that Robert Varkonyi's wife? I imagine ESPN would love for her to make a run, it would make for lots of easy stories.

Re: WSOP Day 3: \"Official\" News, Results, and Discussion
Anyone have an alphabetical list?

Toro on the short stack
Our man Toro is on the short stack. Hope he catches something good on the first hand!

Looks like Greg Raymer(319k), Matt Dean (57k) who placed 7th and Ed Scharf (80k) who placed 15th are the only ones left who made the final 2 tables last year.
From 2 years ago we still have Sam Farha (173k) 2nd, Jason Lester (208k) 4th, Young Pak (54k) 7th, Phil Ivey (89k) 10th, and Dutch Boyd (103k) 12th, Ken |

Some of these folks are going to have a hard time folding their way into the money. [/ QUOTE ] It's interesting how most of the bottom 20 chip counts are bunched between 10K and 16K (only 5-8 times the big blind, or enough for about two orbits of the table). And I think 6 of these players are going to finish out of the money. I am not a tournament poker player so I'm just curious what you guys think the best strategy would be if you had about 11K in chips, assuming that the $12.5K prize was very significant to you. I guess that the luck of who got assigned late position to start the day would be a huge factor when you're a short stack trying to outlast other short stacks. Say you had 11K and happened to get assigned middle position to start the day, would you just fold every hand and hope that 6 people get eliminated before you do? Or would you push all in on Ax or any pair and hope to win the blinds and survive a bit longer? That would be a very nerve wracking spot to be in for an online qualifier who could really use that $12 grand. |
Re: WSOP Day 3: \"Official\" News, Results, and Discussion
If you are in spot 555-560 you can't fold your way to the money as some of those behind you will successfully double up or steal some blinds or be folded to in bb. So you need to keep trying to gather chips. Push a lot of different hands if you still have folding equity (11k is large enough). If you get down to 6-7k it becomes mathematics (often your hand in BB will be good enough to make a push or pushcall correct).

My guess is 555-560 could fold their way into the money if they wanted to. If it were me i'd probably tighten up considerably and only put my chips in if it was very clearly +EV. |

Amir is Antionio's little bro. I sat with him much of day 2, he was battling short stack made some aggressive plays and is a pretty good player.
